Football 365 need to be shut down if we are found not guilty. We need to go after these non stop city bashing cunts, day after day they publish multiple city found guilty stories for their red shirted tossers to get excited over

It must get record interactions why they keep doing it like the social media media do!

Football365 dont write the stories. They just regurgitate articles from the likes of Keith Wyness and Football Insider for clicks.

I don't blame them - they must be making an absolute fortune out of it, and whether we win or lose, they'll make even more out of it!

It's the way of the world these days. There's barely a balanced article about us anywhere in the written media. Clickbait rules - O.K?

Does Delaney seriously believe that the UAE Government would just allow Sheik Mansour to transfer billions of pounds from a UAE Government fund to support his own business Manchester City?

Delaney seriously believes he's an insightful journalist. So anything is possible.
 
The issue with the media I have is the difference in the reporting between the Middle Eastern owners and those from the US. Indeed the BBC ran an article this week about Newcastle after they won the cup asking how fans how they feel with critics of Saudi Arabia highlighting

Human rights violations
The repression of women
The criminalisation of homosexuality
The restriction of free speech
The continued use of the death penalty
The 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi
The imprisonment of activists for online dissent
The country's involvement in the bloody conflict in Yemen

Does anyone think the same article would have been written if Liverpool had won the cup. How do Liverpool fans feel after their owners are closely linked with a US regime that commits

Human rights violations - see Venezuelans deported despite the courts stating that they should not
A country that is actively dismantling diversity equity and inclusive policies
That restricts the press see banning of AP and VoA
The continued use of the death penalty
The death of thousands after false information to start a war in Iraq to force a regime change
The imprisonment of activists for dissent - see Mahmoud Khalil
The country’s involvement in the bloody conflict in Yemen

Until such articles are written by our media we must realise that they continue to be biased and discriminatory

"Sportswashing"...what a stupid label.

But a label none the less, the useless media peddle to the braindead (aka the red cartel)

What does it actually mean? Sportswashing?

How can both newcastle and our owners (in the media's eyes) be using the clubs to try yo make their countries look better?..well i tell you something it aint working cos' the media shills spotted it straight..wow what a coincidence - and labelled it as sportswashing and droned on about how morally corrupt it all just is.

When it is more likely, and has been written in fact, that the reason for it was because they wanted to open up their future generations population to western life.

What I've never understood is the fact that going to the game or watching on TV you'd never have any idea about where our owners are from. Only the media ever mention it. If they stopped then there'd be no reference to the middle east ownership anywhere. So I'm not really sure what the sports washing bit actually is.

Obviously we have sponsors but that's no different to the likes of arsenal or the FA and the ownership of those doesn't get discussed. So...sports washing is at ownership level and it's only the media that refer to it. Just find it a bizarre accusation.

It's utter garbage and just used to undermine the achievements of clubs that aren't their favourites. Every story needs goodies and baddies and ourselves and Newcastle are the baddies.
It doesn't matter how rich the clubs are or if they're state owned or owned by Joe the local butcher, they can only spend within the flawed ( Illegal ) rules. We had probably one, at most two years to spend freely to get our foot through the top four door before the drawbridge was pulled up.
Very few football fans give a fuck about all this bollocks, they just want to go and enjoy their club playing football and hopefully winning trophies. If their club is taken over by somebody they think can help them do that better, then all their moral principles goes right out of the window. We've seen that with Newcastle.

So Delaney, Harris, Holt and the other wankers can gnash their teeth all they want. Nobody gives a fuck.
